About this home
Welcome to 1926 55th Street — a beautifully updated ranch in the heart of Des Moines’ Merle Hay neighborhood. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers the perfect blend of classic charm, modern updates, and long-term peace of mind thanks to a professionally repaired foundation with a transferable warranty. Inside, you’ll find a light-filled open-concept living and dining space, featuring gleaming hardwood floors and a stylish electric fireplace with a shiplap accent wall. The updated kitchen offers modern cabinetry, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances — creating a space that’s as functional as it is beautiful. Both bedrooms are generously sized and flank an updated full bath with clean, modern finishes. The layout is practical, with a flexible dining area that can double as a home office or study nook. One of the home’s most valuable features is the fully repaired foundation, including structural improvements and a warranty that transfers to the new owner — offering confidence and protection for years to come.
